Product is rated as #29 in category Unity

The creation of beautiful virtual terrains isn’t just the domain of the artist, but also of the programmer. What if you could use your programming skills in C# to manipulate a mesh to create realistic landscapes, using algorithms developed by researchers studying landscape formation and erosion? Well now you can.

In this course, Penny introduces procedural terrain generation techniques using her internationally acclaimed holistic teaching style and expertise from over 25 years of teaching, research and work in games and computer graphics. Throughout the course you will follow along with hands–on workshops, designed to teach you the fundamental techniques used for generating realistic virtual landscapes.

Learn how to program and work with:

Voronoi Tessellation

Midpoint Displacement

Perlin Noise

Splat Maps

Trees and Vegetation

Clouds

Weather

Erosion

…and water

Contents and Overview
The course begins by examining the nature of a landscape and the design considerations you should include in making decisions on structure, colour and vegetation. You’ll learn what makes for a natural looking terrain, so you can replicate this in Unity.

Following on, we will examine some of the most popular algorithms used in generating terrains (including many fractal and tessellation techniques) that can be used together, to form random and yet convincing mountainous vistas.

Instructor Details

Hi, I'm Dr Penny de Byl. I'm a full stack developer of most things computer sciency and academic with a true passion for teaching. I've been teaching others about games development, programming, computer graphics, animation and web design for over 25 years in universities in Australia and Europe at the full professor level. I've also consulted for Unity, SAE, the Australian Institute of Entertainment and Wikitude. My best selling textbooks including Holistic Game Development with Unity are used in over 100 institutions world-wide. My graduates work at companies like Apple, Ubisoft, LinkedIn and Deloitte Digital. I have an honours degree in computer graphics and a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence for games characters. Over the course of my career I've won numerous awards for teaching excellence at the state, national and international levels including the Australian Learning and Teaching Council's Excellence in Teaching Award and the Unity Mobile Game Curriculum Competition. My approach to teaching computer science and related fields is project-based giving you hands-on workshops you can immediately get your teeth into. I want you to leave my virtual classroom fully armed with a toolkit of skills for life-long learning. I'm excited to now be focussing my efforts full-time on Udemy to bring my years of knowledge and experience to those eager to learn about technology.

    I honestly love Hollistic’s teaching approach and I’ve never learned so much within a few hours about coding effectively with such detailed explanations!

    The subject matter was well explained, though I imaging a updated version of this will need to be produced with the terrain overhaul. Looking forward to the voronoi noise.

    Great course, concepts and algorithms were explained very well and had a lot of fun. And most importantly learnt about how the terrain system actually works. I can say for sure, this course has given me the right foundation for further developing / testing out new ideas as I understand things much more clearly now. Though, a very few things might not work quite properly in newer versions of Unity like splatmaps disappear from the terrain paint settings after saving or restarting Unity or even in play mode, but regardless of that if someone wants to know how the terrain system works and how to generate environment procedurally, then this course is absolutely worth it, as it gives solid foundation to the necessary algorithms but also gives enough knowledge to try and test out new and different algorithms for generating terrain.

    It has been a wonderful learning experience. Not only is it a Procedural Terrain Generation course, but also It is a UI course (it would be great if you could do a level editing UI course). Just missing, some additional resource about procedural mesh. I want to combine this course with the Build A Multiplayer Kart Racing Game course. If I can make roads or highways I would have great potential.

    Excellent course, I am a French beginner with unity. I tested with unity 2019.2.17.f1 and had no problem.

    This course is absolute gold! I am a Software Engineering Teacher as well as a solo game developer, and of all the courses I have taken on Udemy, this is has been the most useful and eye opening by far. Not to mention the community of people that are taking the course as well as past students are still engaging in conversations in the Q&A Section of each lecture. Thank you for bringing this course to Udemy!

    Despite being a reasonable artist, when working in pencil or paint, sculpting terrain has never yielded satisfying results. Being able to do this through code should make game creation so much easier.

    Personally I took this course believing that it’s about realtime procedural terrain generation. When I realize that it’s not about the realtime representation I thought that I did a mistake. However, I continued it, and the teaching method that Dr. Penny used in the explanation of the algorithms, etc, gets my attention (And I finished the course in less than 1 week). I really enjoyed this course and I easily recommend it. This is my first course from Dr. Penny and I promise that I will take and the other courses as well. Everything that was explained in an excellent way. The only thing that I didn’t like is that the course do not conclude to a buildable scene or a program that will allow you to modify the scene in realtime. However, I rate it with 5 stars since I learned a lot of new things about Procedural Terrain Generation. Again!! This course is easily suggested!! Thank you, Dr Penny!!

    Some great ideas for terrain creation would be nice to have more information on creating infinite terrains and loading in chunks of terrain but some solid principles here and some good innovation

    Excellent course. She should add procedural cities’ generation as a new section in the future. It will be awesome if she could add my request into the course. Anyway, this course is amazing.
